16. The system of claim 11 wherein said personal profile utility receives user registration data, click-stream data from content pages and click-stream data from transactional pages.

17. The system of claim 1 , wherein said private data includes private transactional data.

18. The system of claim 1 , wherein said host computer component comprises an interactive presentation utility configured to format the public data based upon the private data.

19. The system of claim 1 , wherein said private data includes spending habit data and said public data includes promotion data.

20. A method of integrating and delivering data available over a network, said method including the steps of: acquiring public data from at least one publicly available data store coupled to said network, wherein said public data is determined by private data; acquiring said private data from at least one private data store coupled to said network; integrating said public data and said private data to form integrated data; and delivering said integrated data to a user system.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein: said step of acquiring said public data includes the step of interactively updating said public data in accordance with changes to said at least one publicly available data store; or said step of acquiring said private data includes the step of interactively updating said private data in accordance with changes to said at least one private data store.

22. The method of claim 20 , wherein said integrating step includes the step of customizing said public data and said private data in accordance with a personal profile utility.
